Jess
From Universe A Wiki
Jess is one of the minor characters in The Scrambled Channel. Her first appearance was in Issue #22, where she was one of the many hitching a ride in Tonberry's sombrero. She had her first actual dialogue, however, in Issue #38, where she, Topaz, and Teeks try to figure out how Nilla could ever fall for Meta. She's made small appearances in both The Scrambled Channel and Friendly Fire since then.

[edit] Appearance
Jess's appearance has changed dramatically over the years. She's always had the blonde hair and sky blue eyes. The black streaks in her hair were added later on.
Though her artist still draws her as an Echidna from time to time, she's now more commonly seen as a human. Her pyrokinetic abilities were added in late 2007, and she's remained the same ever since. She's still seen as an Echidna in the comics, but that may change soon.
[edit] Personality
Jess is friendly and easy to get along with, but can sometimes come across rude without realizing it. Though she can be sarcastic and even cynical around friends, she never means to offend. The only time she'd intentionally tell someone off is if they were offending her or someone she cares about. All in all, she likes to avoid confrontation whenever possible. Her most well known traits are her anger (which brings to mind the phrase, "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"), her big sister complex, and her perverted mind. While the first two aren't seen often in the comics, her perverted mind certainly is.
[edit] Creation and Conception
Jess's artist, Jessica "Ember" Jackson, created her to be her personal character in late 2005. She started as a yellow Echidna, a Sonic fan character, and her outfit was a simple one. She wore a black shirt, blue jeans, black gloves, and regular black tennis shoes. The trademark black streaks in her bangs didn't come around until around February of 2006 (left). Sometime after the black streaks were added to her look, Jess's outfit changed again, this time to a black, ripped shirt with red sleeves, torn blue jeans, and black boots. No pictures remain of this outfit. It wasn't long before Jess's entire design was changed from a yellow Echidna to a being called a Nightmaren.
This version of Jess, born from her artist's love for the cult classic game for the Sega Saturn, NiGHTS: Into Dreams, didn't last long either. The character's name was eventually changed to JadeMare, making her a completely different character from Jess. Around October 2006, Jess went back to her Echidna self and was given a whole new outfit: A purple, ripped shirt with a grey chest and black rings around the arms, a red vest, a chain necklace with a grey coffin, the same torn blue jeans, and the same black boots. She was also given see-though lavender shades for a short amount of time, but those quickly disappeared. Nowadays, she's seen as a human girl, and has the same clothes as the Echidna.
[edit] Reception
As stated, Jess is one of the minor characters in the series and isn't seen nearly as often as the others. As such, she isn't as popular as other characters in the series and hasn't received much fanart.
[edit] Relation to other characters
[edit] Meta
Jess and Meta are good friends and she stops by his apartment every so often to hang out. Though they're not as close as some other people Meta knows, they still enjoy each other's company. She accompanied Meta and the others to the future for Brawl.
[edit] Nilla
Little is known about Jess's relationship with Nilla, save for the fact that they know each other and Jess had expressed (in her own perverted way) a very obvious interest in Nilla. In the past, something happened at Disneyland involving Jess, Meta, Megan, and Nilla that she and Meta would love to revisit, but Megan and Nilla insist on never speaking of it again.
[edit] Teeks
Teeks and Jess are very close friends and she comes over to hang out at his apartment every so often. She feels she's got the most in common with Teeks than a lot of her friends, and thinks of him as a brother to her more than anything else. They've seen each other through a lot of good and bad times, and both never hesitate to offer good advice to each other when the time is right.
[edit] Doku
Jess isn't as close to Doku as some of her other friends, but they're still pretty good friends and she enjoys his company whenever he's around. She sees him more in the Friendly Fire household.
[edit] Silver
Jess considers Silver her little brother, and both have seen each other through some rough times. It was through him that she met the others in the group, but she's seen less and less of him as of late.
